This is going to seem mighty silly, but could someone remind me what my one and only hard drive was originally 'named' when i took my MacPro 2.66 out of the box?
Through a strange combination of keyboard keystrokes while cleaning my keyboard with the machine running, I somehow renamed my harddrive '-OX' without trying to do so. I thought the hard drive was originally called 'Macintosh' but since I've renamed it that, when I opened Dreamweaver it no longer recognizes any of my root site files.
Could you take a peek on your desktop and tell me what your default name for the hard drive that shipped with your machine actually is? I'm hoping this will restore my settings in DW and I won't have to manually re-assign all my local root folders.
Many thanks!

A hard drive format refers to how the operating system stores the data on the drive. There are three common filesystems that are used today: HFS+, NTFS, and FAT32. Mac OS X uses HFS+, Windows uses NTFS and used to use FAT32. However, not all of these filesystems are compatible with every operating system.

Making a backup is an important part of preparing your Mac for service, especially because some types of repair might require erasing or replacing your hard drive.
Get your Mac ready for serviceHow much space do I need for a backup?
To see the size of a specific file or folder, click it once and then press Command-I. To see storage information about your Mac, click the Apple menu in the top-left of your screen. Choose About This Mac and click the Storage tab. For Time Machine backups, it's good to use a drive that has at least twice the storage capacity of your Mac.
